Battlefield 3

[BadKarma]

Yes you can... lol me and my friends have been destroying kids by constantly rushing, have a 2.5 K/D just by rushing people and they're not expecting it lol. My K/D would probably be alot higher if I camped, but camping or "finding cover" as you call it, is for fags who suck.

Diving behind cover when being unloaded on is camping? Hi2U stop and pop

I've a question; Do you get anything (unlock-wise) for completing singleplayer, or can that safely be skipped?

As far as I know, you don't get any unlocks in multi for completing the single-player.

[Raen Ryong]

You get nada, at least from Normal. Idk about Hard but I guess not.

it takes forever to take down an airplane . when do we learn anything with missiles ?

Obtw, any of you that are on the PC version, there's a nasty bug near the end of the campaign.

Spoiler: show

After you escape from your captors and you're aboard the train, there's a part where you're attacked by a guy in a ski-mask with an AK on his back ... after you punch him in the face and kick him out the window, you run up to the front of the train car and see the C4 that Solomon planted to separate you from the rest of the train. You have to press a key to jump out the window, then another key to jump across to the train car in front of you.

The bug occurs when you hit Space to jump across. If you keep dying over and over at this point for no reason, just go into your key config and bind Jump to the Space key. That should fix it .... once you're through that short sequence, you can re-do your binds without a problem.

Ok, won't bother with singleplayer yet then. No reason to it; I'll just get behind in unlocks online.

It released in Sweden today, so picked my copy up 5 hours ago.... Time couldn't possibly ove more slowly. Don't get off work for another 2 hours

Am I doing something wrong? I can't seem to be able to circle strafe shoot in any of the attack choppers. Did they change it so it couldn't be done anymore in BF3?

[Raen Ryong]

Your signature is so funny.

[Ohemgee]

I can't play this game.

Nvidia drivers are crashing constantly

Brobox impressions:

1) The fine aim sensitivity is taking a bit to get used to.
2) I'm seeing mortars being abused already.
3) Loving the explosions and destruction.
4) Grenade throw distance seems to be short, and seem spongy, and don't bounce off walls well.
5) Starting out is damn tough, due to no attachments to help.
6) Pacing seems to be slower, and its hard to get over 20 kills in a round, even when your team is raping.
7) Grand Bazaar on Rush is a nasty camp-fest. Not too fun.
8) Unlocks are too slow. Starting weapons are weak compared to later ones.
9) The M-Com station on Operation Firestorm (I think, might be another map) that is in that crevice, is in a piss-poor spot.
10) Rockets seem to be too weak on tanks. Takes 4 to disable sometimes. Too many.
11) It takes a lot of bullets to kill someone. I get far too many assists.
12) Chopper controls are all FUBAR. Takes a long time to get used to the new system.

The environment of the game is amazing, but I think some improvements can be made to the gun/bullet/damage system.

Get more headshots, youre just missing a lot with weaker weapons. Two to three shots for me when im using assault rifles. Airplane controls are fine when you change them to one that suits you. The tank thing i can explain to you; youre attacking it wrng and not hitting its flank where armor is weaker. It should only take 1-2 hits to disable a tank and make it almost useless, and one more after that to end it. If it took 4 its cause there was some one repairing it or youre hitting it dead in the face where it shrugs your rockets off.

Chopper controls are pretty much cut and paste from how they were in Battlefield 2. I'm guessing most of the console BF gamers are used to Bad Company's heli controls, which is understandable that the transition would feel completely alien.

Are the servers down? When I try to install it, it opens the "Activate Battlefield" window in Origin, and then it thinks for 10 min. After that, it gives me a "Unable to connect to verification server" or something error message.

also does it seem to take a lot of bullets to kill on brobox? I flanked a whole enemy squad and despite being directly behind them only killed one before the rest turned around and raped me.

Ordered my joystick yesterday, came in today. Makes flying the jets a completely different experience. I'm finally able to stay alive and fight back. Although non-A10's seem to have no real purpose except for dicking around and taking the other jets out since ground kills are tough to get without the later laser-guided air-to-ground missiles.

Also, a lot of people are complaining about the size of maps and getting around. You guys realize you can spawn on your captured conquest points, or your squad mates right? Grab a vehicle, it doesn't take long to get around...

[Boyiee]

Also, does anyone know if there is an actual config file or ini that we can access for like field of view and keybindings? Even through steam with BC2 there were files that you could change things like vehicle turret sensitivity much further than you could in game.

I'm looking to basically unbind my entire joystick setup that the game has default, and then go in and remap it myself. It takes forever to delete each binding one by one in game for each vehicle/etc.

[Arkanna]

Well, the PC version has a full developer console, so it should be as tweakable as old-school Quake was back in the day.

*edit*

Re: spawning on squadmates/command points ... I really hope they do two things: 1) Makes spawns at command points more random, and 2) remove the second or so of darkness that immediately follows your spawn. I can't tell you how many times I spawned at a command point last night and was gunned down immediately by someone sitting nearby, waiting for people to spawn. Also, when you spawn, that second or so of black screen is a killer because you can get shot and die before you can react.

Yes, confirmed when logging in to origin just now
